               Fig. 1.4.5 Business value across the different types of data.


           In Fig. 1.4.5, it is seen that there really are three classes of business relevancy—business-
           relevant data, business-irrelevant data, and potentially business-relevant data.


           Each of these categories of data deserves their own explanation.


           The first category of data is that of structured data. Structured data are typically managed
           by a DBMS. Fig. 1.4.6 shows that all structured data are (at least potentially) business-
           relevant.
